all civil cases listed for the first
week in May and partof the first

Coal Higher
Coal men estimate that the
wage increase granted to 175,000
miners in the anthracite field
will raise the retail prices of hard
coal an average of sixty cents a
ton. The agreement Bigned by
representatives of the operators
and the United Mine Workers
of America adds approximately
$30,000,000 a year to the miners'
wages and is the largest increase
awarded in the history of the
anthracite industry.

The Life of Army Camps.
As soon as our new volunteer
or conscripted armies are mobil
ized the problem comes up of the
kind of life they are going to
live in camps. The first thing to
be looked out for is their physical
comfort. They need good food,
well cooked, and plenty of it.
It will pay to make the boys
comfortable. The lesa their hard
ships, the more willingly they
will do their bit.
The boy3 need pleasant recrea
tions and some home life sur
roundings. They wiil be put
through some stirring physical
stunts, giving them perhaps all
the athletics they need. It may
not be necessary to .organize
baseball and football leagues to
work off steam. But when the
day's work is over, they need
pleasant recreation tents v here
they can meet and form friend
ships and gn.in refreshment for
another day. A good line of
movie shows would do a lot to
relieve tho tedium of this hard
working life.
The churches and Young Men's
Christian Apsrrhtion have a great
chance to provide wholesome fa
cilities here for recreation, so
that the boys will not be driven
by dullness to stek diversion in
harmful ways.
No Granger I'ici ic.
In view of the present condi
tions of the country, mainly due
to the war, and in order to pre
vent any unnecessary congestions
on the railroads, it has been de
cided to abandon the annual
Grangers Picnicat Williams Grove
this year. This would have been
the 44th annual picnic of this
association.
